In this note, we prove the following generalization of a theorem of Shi and Tam (J Differ Geom 62:79–125, 2002): Let (Ω,g) be ann-dimensional (n≥ 3) compact Riemannian manifold, spin whenn> 7, with non-negative scalar curvature and mean convex boundary. If every boundary component Σihas positive scalar curvature and embeds isometrically as a mean convex star-shaped hypersurface, thenwhereHis the mean curvature of Σiin (Ω,g),is the Euclidean mean curvature ofin, and wheredσ anddenote the respective volume forms. Moreover, equality holds for some boundary component Σiif, and only if, (Ω,g) is isometric to a domain in. In the proof, we make use of a foliation of the exterior of the’s inby the-flow studied by Gerhardt (J Differ Geom 32:299–314, 1990) and Urbas (Math Z 205(3):355–372, 1990). We also carefully establish the rigidity statement in low dimensions without the spin assumption that was used in Shi and Tam (J Differ Geom 62:79–125, 2002).
